I guess we've all carried on enough about a pretty minor issue that has nothing to do with the SGW.

: It's a good idea to wear a helmet on

: as to what risk one is willing to
: accept. I do not believe this climb
: was a professionally guided climb,
: so the choice as to wearing a helmet
: and many other decisions would
: probably be left up to the
: individual climber. A lay person
: showing others a climbing route they
: are familiar with isn't typically
: held to the same standard as a

: That sounds cool but you still have
: to
: ask, then why were they wearing
: them?? why take them at all?
: (fashion statement?)I mean based on
: some of the photos they weren't that
: close to each other all the time.
: and on a few Ellen looks far enough
: away for a rock to gain enough mo to
: do more than just hurt. it dont make
: no sense to me.sorry

: I've been up the MR a few times and
: it
: isn't that loose of a chute. I've
: never seen rock fall come down the
: chute. You have to be more worried
: about rock fall from above on the
: East Buttress. Looking at the
: photos, it looked like Laura kept
: everyone on the left side of the
: chute, which is the safest route.
